I put a photo here of my nearly secret Santa!

Your photo didn't come through Gert.

I'm going to attempt to attach a photo (it's a really good one, too) - but no promises as I am doing it in a roundabout sort of way.

No, didn't work - it would be great to put the photo up, but I'm running out of time - I've got to get back to work and admit defeat, I will just have to try to figure my SS out by myself (unless you take pity on me Gert).

I'll believe it is a good  one when I see it

Pity?? You want Pity from me?  My mother always said try try again.

My hint was really good too.

Gert, I have been trying to download photos, but totally unsuccessfully ... however, it is a moot point now as I have figured out who my SS is.  Big hugs and XXX's to SS.

Well Marina I am glad you gave it a shot. I confess it is pretty convoluted using  the PC. Apple make it so much easier believe me. It was so time consuming to resize photos using Microsoft I you  don't do it often.

But having said that I am disappointed not seeing your SS and am really disappointed  that you don't need my SS hint as I spent at least 30 seconds thinking of something clever.

Hopefully if you ask around  someone will e able to show you how to do,it with a camera. Camera's are a mystery to me. Before I got my iPad I rarely took a photo. When I got my Nana phone I was able to actually take a photo but to download it  was almost beyond me. Took me many hours to figure I out.  When I got my iPad I amazed myself how easy it was to take a photo and share it. Now I love taking VDOs and pics with  my new iPhone as well and am thinking of buying a Mac computer. No way am I getting Windows 8.

Are you sorry you now know who your SS is ? I am not sure I want to know when mine comes.  I would rather speculate. I suspect I won't be getting mine until  the day before. Don't think my SS trusts me not to open it. LOL!  ;D

I'm curious about how you figured it out Marina ;D Did you ring the phone number?

Marina may have seen those letters elsewhere on this forum!  Dead  giveaway but don't tell.

It is really hard to send a package and make it completely secret where it comes from unless you send it or take it to another location. Plu there is the DG  statement to sign.

You are right about how I figured out who my SS was, Gert, I had an idea all along, but spent a few seconds fossicking around on the forum last night to confirm my suspicions.  It is hard to disguise the sender's details but my SS did their best.  It is fun searching out clues as to who sent you your gift, though.  I am very lucky as to who my SS is.

Gert, I am sure you had a cracker of a clue, sorry I didn't give you the chance to drop your heavy hint!

Oh, that is far too cryptic for me, thanks goodness I solved it all by myself - your 'clue' would have burnt my brain to smithereens.
